The Art for Grenfell initiative is a two part project by London Artists in support of the survivors of the Grenfell Disaster. It starts with an auction to be held on the evening of Thursday 21st September 6.3o-9.30pm at Lumen Gallery, Kings Cross.

Contribution to the auction is by invitation. My work for the auction is a framed etching, Ordinary Courage

Unbound suggests not bound by the singularity of the print medium, as well as the freedom or lack of restraint in finding the image. Printmaking for each artist is part of a wider practice. Both artists are driven by other media which come into the printmaking and flow through it. In the case of McKay drawing from live performance and in the case of Fuirer framing the image through her association with film and photography.

Yesterday I was in Margate for the opening of In Two Parts the Printmakers Council’s selected exhibition at The Lombard Gallery. I am showing a sugar lift etching: Between One Breath and The Next. The show runs until 11 September.

About Sally

I draw in response to activity, focussing on live performance. Dancers are my stimulus, I draw while they rehearse and perform, transcribing motion and stillness, balance and falling, solitude and chaos, into a series of marks on paper. The drawings are in the present, an immediate and direct reaction to the rhythmic movement.

The drawings inform the paintings, etchings and life size wire sculpture created in my studio while the memory of the movement is still strong.
